'''Antonio''' is the leader of the [[Thieves]] faction in ''[[Assassin's Creed II]]'' and is essentially an Italian Robin Hood. His "HQ" is located in the commercial district of [[Venice]]. He lived an honest life with his poor family with his father, a cobbler, and his mother, a maid for an upper-class family. He wanted to be richer, but no matter how hard he studied, the schools would not accept him, no matter how hard he worked he could not get out of his miserable situation. So he decided to steal if he really wanted something because hard labor was not enough and you could become a person in the underground regardless where you came from. He and his men steal from the immoral Venetian noblemen, not ordinary citizens. He considers his guild as "business" and that his clan is more than just a little bunch of bandits. He and [[Ezio Auditore di Firenze|Ezio]] help each other against the corrupt men of Venice.
